Yawn. . That’s Nice, Stacy.

FWIW, I agree with you entirely on substance. But did you expect anything else from the MSM?

And now how about we turn our attention to one of the dozens of Republican candidates who are not overexposed and who are actually within striking distance of Dems in independent public polls.

One of my main criticisms of O’Donnell was that it distracted us from a number of other closer battles with, quite frankly, better candidates. Seeing Joe Miller’s relative fundraising struggles while all of the oxygen got sucked out of the room and sent toward O’Donnell just reinforces that.

Why not stop talking about this woman until she shows she is within striking distance (she has enough $ to get her message out on her own now without the blogosphere) and focus on more of the dozens of other races out there that are much closer and equally important.

More Mattie Fein, etc., Less O’Donnell.

Reminds me of when Dan Quayle had the audacity to suggest that single-motherhood as glorified by the Murphy Brown show might have negative implications on society as a whole. I remember that was one big “hoot” at the time – comedians of that day made some good coin off of that one. How’s all that single-motherhood working out for whatever large metro city you happen live in or near to? I’m near Milwaukee – not so good there!

I am sure Smitty could tell us all about those cathodic electronic systems that prevent rust on ships and pipelines. A small piece of sacrificial metal ends up corroding.

Someone suggested Christine O’Donnell may be that sacrificial metal, in taking Democratic pressure off of the other Senate races in Nevada, Kentucky, possibly Conn., Wisconsin, etc. The Dems are so fearful of O’Donnell winning they will divert resources away from other races.

Of course you want O’Donnell to actually win. And she may. It is going to be an uphill battle. Which is why we need to direct fire at Chris Cooms.

What, no boob shots?

That’s the point that O’Donnell was actually trying to make, but TNR was too partisan and obtuse to pick up.

“Why not stop talking about this woman”

Well, Wondering Jew, this is where the battle has gone, and instead of retreating and shrinking away from the Republican candidate, we of the right are calling the phalanx of liberal media tools on the error of their ways.

The O’Donnell race is a race in which a candidate with conservative beliefs was shunned by the GOP ruling elites, and it rankles that some of our brain trust types have joined the liberals in the latest smack down of a candidate who rose to prominence on the wave of public outrage over how our country has been run by the ruling elites of Washington.

I’m for her for good reason. But the fact that they are so in the tank against her makes it all the more important to me to line up against them. The liberal and GOP ‘intelligencia’ beat down of her is a liberal and GOP ‘intelligencia’ beat down of me, and I’m not having it.

You get your Joe Miller to take the kind of liberal BS heat that O’Donnell has and I’d be glad to toss in with him as well.

Now hit the tip jar. Then head over to O’Donnell’s and do likewise.

Shalom.

O’Donnell is drawing a lot fire; unfortunately some of it is still friendly fire. I say few states or districts are as liberal and out of reach as the conventional wisdom would have us believe. The problem with conventional wisdom is it’s too conventional.
Any objective view of Mz. O’Donnell’s comments on Britney must conclude they were prescient.

-Well, said, James Nicholas – you took the words right out of my mouth [again].

-This just shows that the Left really thinks most of their fellow countrymen are total idiots.

Christine is exactly right and was vindicated by history. Funny how generations – millennia, even – of understanding of human nature give someone the ability to understand the effect that certain actions invariably have on the psyche. It’s almost like studying physics and determining that apples will accelerate towards earth if put into free fall.

Sorry Nicholas, but I’m mostly unconvinced. Your justification was reasonable for supporting her in the primary, but not for continuing the obsession in the general. No one is saying to back away from her, though I will point out that it wasn’t just the RINOs, but significant members of the grassroots R blogosphere (e.g. Ace, Patterico, Allahpundit, etc.) who had legitimate reservatons about O’Donnell.

I’m just saying– lets concentrate on the dozens of races where our candidate isn’t down 15 or 16 points in independent polls. O’Donnell has banked $2.3 Million. If she can use that to draw a lot closer to Coons, I can justify spending more time on this race.

RE: that pic of Coons and Christine

It’s like she knows me!

W.J., if you don’t want to read about O’Donnell, your browser has a scroll bar — and many Windows mice come with a scroll wheel.

I am not gonna be rolled by the left. That’s the bottom line. I am not going to allow the left to shame me away from this candidate on the basis that they have made her an object of ridicule. How many times have we seen them try this crap? What did they say of Reagan? A ‘B’ actor who didn’t have the smarts to be president. An excellent front for the real brains running the show behind him. A dangerous cowboy that is likely to get us all killed? Well he was nothing like the way he was portrayed. I’m guessing the same is true here. O’Donnell may win, perhaps she will not. Regardless, I will take their efforts to impugn her and skewer them with them on their own petard.

Is it possible that the left is critical of Christine O’Donnell because they are concerned over her teenage experiences with a Ouija Board? Perhaps not. They are ramping up on her because they think they can shame the entire Tea Party movement, and it is the usual slap down we have come to expect, with the usual double standard applied over statements made. They have the bad manners to smirk when someone made a valid point in regards to their idiotic ideas on how to deal with aids. Wondering Jew, we had Surgeon General Joycyln Elders telling people that she thinks classes should be taught in high schools so that boys could learn how to masturbate, and this she felt was an important response to the aids crisis. Am I to believe that Christine O’Donnell’s counter point was the statement that reflected poor judgment? What she said in this instance was on the money, like it or not. ‘Think about what it is you are allowing yourself to think about.’ That is a reasonable admonition for anyone. It just happens to match the teachings of the Bible. What Joycyln Elders said, on the other hand, was absolutely laughable, and was typical of the pie in the sky, misplaced priorities that is so typical in solutions offered to us from the left.

Christine O’Donnell did not ask for the reception she has received, but the vehement assault and baseless criticism requires a response from us. The reason nobody knows about Joe Miller is because the left and the ruling elites of the right haven’t put the hit out on him. If Joe Miller wants to be a center focus of the discussion it is up to him to place himself in harms way.

Now they speak of Reagan in respectful terms. The only conservatives the left is keen on are the ones that are dead and who can no longer hurt them.

I’ll stick with the living ones.
